CHARLOTTESVILLE ATTACK

Open Letter To The White Citizens of Charlottesville, Virginia:

August 7 j 1956

Less than one month ago, in a historic decision, the public schools of Charlottesville
were ordered to mix Nigras with white Virginians "with all deliberate speed". Every Informed
white citizen knows that race-mongrel 3 sm has been a part of the red's programme to destroy the

Sovereign States and the United States since the year 1926. The Nigra, white-race-hating
organization, NAACP, is a red-led organization. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Nigra Congressman
from Harlem, New York, is a particularly odious and offensive Nigra with an African background.
He has been cited by the Un-American Activities Committee as having more than 66 commie-front
citations to his name, Powell Is a "bad -nigger".

We know, however, that Nigras have never successfully organized anything except a "skin-
game" on the corner or a "gin-party". It is the noble white man who has given the Nigra benefit
of white-organized Christian civilization, and it is the degenerate white man -who has organized
the Nigra to destroy the white race in America to establish world commonism.

Why have the reds picked on Charlottesville? What deep weakness has caused corrupt Federal
Judges and NAACP race-haters to destroy the Anglo-Saxon in Charlottesville?

On Saturday, July 28th, responding to the desperate plea of the white citizens of Charlottes-
ville, organizers from the headquarters of the Seaboard White Citizens Councils located in
Washington, D.C., rushed to Charlottesville to set up a Council to attack race-mixers and stop
the forced raee-mongrelism about to take effect in the public schools of Charlottesville.

They brought with them, our ATTACK PROGRAM for' Virginia, which is the only totally sincere, *
extreme segregationist program ever presented to the Virginia State Legislature or any state
legislature confronted with race-mixing problems.

The Mayor, Weinberg, the police chief, Adams, and the City Manager, Bolen, said they were
deeply impressed with our program. They invited the men back on Monday 'July 30th at 2 P.M. to
meet with themselves, State Senator McCue, a man named Oglesby, and other officials, to discuss
our program and our request for permission to distribute our program to the Charlottesville
white citizens and hold mass rallies in Charlottesville.

Driving 125 miles, we returned at the appointed time, on Monday, July 30th, at 2 P.M..
No one there. Just Adams who said all the Senators were away, the mayor at his drugstore, and
the city manager out to lunch. Adams said they decided over the weekend our literature was , too
violent and too emotional and best to keep everyone nice and quiet!! ,r No, we could not distribute
to the people the only program which completely means SEGREGATION IN VIRGINIA FOREVER and NOT
"creeping, spotted, and gradual integration", as envisaged by the political garbage called the
"Gray £Lan". The "McCue Plan" Is weak and little better than the Gray Plan. You can't be a
little bit pregnant.

No meetings either. Might cause a commotion.

Then we went to the City Manager. Bureaucrat, ho-initative, no-Individuality, no-personality
Bolen called our program "disgusting trash".

Then to" the Weinberg's drugstore. The little fellow with the limpid, liquid brown eyes
and bullet head said: "We have nothing to worry about, by court appeals we can stay segregated
for- at least six months to a year. Nothing to worry about nothing, nothing...

Having met these 'guardians of the people 1 , heard their cowardly statements, their run,
run, run, RUN policy we went to Ed McCue' s office, expecting something better.

The Senator was In Richmond. In his son, Ed Jr., we did fine something better. We found
a very personable, intelligent, handsome young man, completely informea on -.ne segregation
issue, expressing a willingness to stand up and fight for the white folics. He point ea out to

That evil-smelling crowd. in Ctty Kail is the gang responsible for Charlotcesville bein& -he iirst

didn't need a dynamic VThite Citizens Council that ve put him ir\ the catacory of cne n.ore

situation was well in hand and he had been taking care of it. .

White Citizens of Charlottesville 1 1 The situation is so well in hand, that your children
will go to school with niggers come January.

Leaving your lovely city, home of great Thomas Jefferson, we stopped at a gas station
where we met Mr. G. H. Thomas, manager. He had been contacted by the men the previous cavurday,
and after talking a few minutes we knew we had met a real man who felt deeply about having his
children or his children's children go to school with Kigras . Mr. Thomas couraceously o^ered
to serve as chairman of our Charlottesville Council.

Going door-to-door, telling the white citizens who we were, and leaving applications w^h eacn
person who wanted' them, we found the people of Charlottesville WITHOUT EXCEPTION are opposed
to niggerism and placing the fair white bodies of their children in the schools bes.ae Mgras-.
The people are desperate and are pleading for leadership in this fight. The people of .narlottes-
ville we talked with instinctively knew we were the forthright leadership they neea and grabbed
up each and every application we had with enthusiastic zeal.

Suddenly police cars. Our men were arrested. The charge: distributing leaflets without
a permit.

Mr. Thomas, our chairman, was summoned.

In Adams-* office, Mr. Thomas and the spokesman for the White Citizens' Councils, John
Kasper, were interrogated by a plainclothesman' in the presence of Adams. Mr. Thomas was made
